2B60.85 Hydraulic Lift

Pascal's Principle device. Pressure is transmitted through fluid. Small force applied to small area piston produces large force on large area piston. Put car on large piston and show how much mass needed to move car up. Then try again with car on small piston.

Setup Requirements: Minimal. Use yellow car. Use 500 gm and 2kg masses.

Equations: P = F / A

Safety Issues: Avoid dropping weights.
